FIC LINK: Do You Want To Build A Snowman
AUTHOR LINK: [archiveofourown.org profile] supersonicsidekick
RATING/WARNING(S): G
WIP?/WORD COUNT: complete, 644 words
MAIN CHARACTERS: Gertrude Yorkes, Molly Hernandez

FIC SUMMARY: Molly and Gert enjoy something they never thought they would get to experience living in Los Angeles: a snow day.

RECCER'S NOTES: A pre-canon ficlet about Molly, Gert and their best/worst snowman ever. It's funny, touching and sweet, and it always makes me smile. :) If you just want to read a happy story, this one doesn't require canon knowledge, but at the same time it's perfectly in character.

I got it as a gift during the Marvel/DC Holiday Bingo Exchange.

WIP?/WORD COUNT: ficlet | 200 words
MAIN CHARACTERS: Luna Lovegood

FIC SUMMARY: The thestrals look happier than usual.

RECCER'S NOTES: This is a wonderful ficlet. Despite it's just 200 words a lot is said. Love Luna's pov. And even though there's still a sense of the devastation of seventh year there's hope too.

RATING/WARNING(S): G | none
WIP?/WORD COUNT: ficlet | ~ 330 words
MAIN CHARACTERS: Gwendoline Mary Lacey

FIC SUMMARY: The girls at Malory Towers weren't right about everything.

RECCER'S NOTES: This is such a great little character study. Moreoften than not Gwendoline has my sympathies even though she was horrid sometimes. And while she is still herself here she does grow up.

MAIN CHARACTERS: Marcus Bell, Joan Watson

FIC SUMMARY: Could have been a knife!

RECCER'S NOTES: This is a brilliant call back to a certain mid-season 1 episode, featuring Joan getting revenge and Marcus along for the ride. It's marked ship, but there's nothing here that can't be read as friendship.

FIC LINK: Commercial Value.
AUTHOR LINK: [livejournal.com profile] arsenicjade
RATING/WARNING(S): PG-13
WIP?/WORD COUNT: ficlet | ~ 920 words
MAIN CHARACTERS: Fiona Glenanne

FIC SUMMARY: For all his practicality, his cleverness in getting them in and out of situations, Fiona wonders if Michael ever thinks about the fact that he’s never had his body put on display for the sake of culling information, thumbing ID, whatever.

RECCER'S NOTES:

Fiona is my favorite character in Burn Notice. This is a really neat little character study.
(And after reading it I really want her Natasha Romanov to meet up. How awesome would that be?)

RATING/WARNING(S): G
WIP?/WORD COUNT: ficlet | 626 words
MAIN CHARACTERS: Harry Potter

FIC SUMMARY: Harry speaks at the ceremony unveiling the memorial to the fallen.

RECCER'S NOTES:

Short but powerful snippet. I can never really suspend my disbelief with a Harry who is an awesome speaker, but this is a speech I could see him give.

RATING/WARNING(S): General audiences
WIP?/WORD COUNT: 308 | Complete
MAIN CHARACTERS: Emma Peel, John Steed.

FIC SUMMARY: Escaping the walking dead with style.

RECCER'S NOTES: For some people The Avengers means a fandom different to a more popular one. A ficlet where Steed fetches Mrs Peel to fight zombies. A nicely humorous piece, with a more vexed than usual Mrs Peel.
